The objective of this study was to construct a harmonized SNOMED Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) components quality assurance framework for identifying, categorizing, and assessing data quality issues in SNOMED CT components.

Design, implement, and evaluate a standards-based architecture for secure federated analytics across heterogeneous Trusted Research Environments (TREs) that aligns with the Five Safes Framework, without requiring TREs to modify their internal governance, infrastructure, or operational practices.

In this Perspective, we provide the rationale for the retention of safety-critical certification criteria for health information technology by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). To not do so puts all future American patients at risk. The proposed deregulatory actions are based on faulty premises, will lead to serious adverse patient outcomes, and sets a dangerous precedent. Public safety regulations should be held to a [...]

To evaluate how cross-terminology mapping of International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-coded diagnoses is associated with preservation of diagnostic distinctions and traceability in electronic health record (EHR)-derived phenotypes for genomic research.

BACKGROUND: Scribes help physicians decrease electronic medical record documentation burden. There is transition from virtual to artificial intelligence (AI) scribes. A gap exists in our understanding of parent perspectives on technology-based scribe use at pediatric medical visits.

Although interest in using sensors in long-term care (LTC) settings is growing, little guidance exists on how to engage stakeholders in planning. This study aimed to (1) develop a systematic, community-engaged process for co-designing sensorization plans-defining goals and parameters (e.g., data collection, sharing) to support decision-making prior to sensor deployment; (2) apply this process with LTC stakeholders; and (3) examine stakeholder perspectives across sensor approaches.

OBJECTIVES: This case report describes the implementation and outcomes of robotic process automation (RPA) interventions used as an electronic health record (EHR)-based reliability layer for two inpatient quality initiatives: First Contact Provider (FCP) assignment and Admission Medication Reconciliation (AMR) within 24 hours.

Virtual nursing (VN) is an increasingly popular nursing care model being implemented nationally to help alleviate nursing burden and shortages which are particularly prevalent in emergency care.
